McDonald's Crew are the best!

We stopped by a few of our participating McDonald's locations this afternoon to see how the program is doing. The crew are wonderful and very enthusisatic - they are doing a great job of raising funds for our House. Front line crew are wearing special RMHH t-shirts and some are even wearing hard hats just like the staff at Ronald McDonald House!

We have sold thousands of Ronald Mcdonald House Hamilton bracelets in the past week and with only a few weeks left in December, we're encouraging everyone to get to your local McDonald's and purchase a bracelet before they are all sold out!

Here are some photos of the amazing McDonald's crew in action and the tray liner with a QR code that takes you right to this blog!

The CHML/Y108 Christmas Tree of Hope

This weekend Ronald McDonald House Hamilton took part in the "Blitz Day Radiothon" at Limeridge Mall for the CHML/Y108 Christmas Tree of Hope Campaign. The Christmas Tree of Hope was developed to bring hope to kids and families struggling through the holiday season. Ronald McDonald House Hamilton receives an annual donation from the CHML/Y108 Children's Fund.

Here is a photo of

Janice from Ronald McDonald House being interviewed by Ted Micheals and Jen Watson from CHML 900.

Help Our Doors Open!


Staff of Ronald McDonald House have officially moved back in!! Although there is no public access to the House yet we have been able to move in (wearing hard hats and boots)and are now working from a safe area on the site :) As you can see by the photo, Janice really follows the rules as she wears her pink hard hat even at her desk!

It's great to be back but we can't wait to be able to open the doors for the many families who need us. To help us open our doors,local McDonald's Restaurants are selling Ronald McDonald House Hamilton gel bracelets for $2.00 during the month of December. With the holidays just around the corner, the bracelets make a great stocking stuffer and all proceeds from the sale of the bracelets will go directly to House. This program has only been running for two days and we've already sold 1,700 bracelets so make sure you get one before they're all gone!

There will be alot of things happening around here in the next few weeks so please keep visiting the blog to keep up to date with the all the action! We'll be sure to post pictures of the progress as well.

Happy Friday!
